Risk factors should not exceed the Medium Risk level.
If they do, then control measures must be put in place to reduce the risk factor as per Stage 4.
(This does not mean that risk factors below the medium risk level would not need implementing).

Stage 3 Control Measures and Procedures to Reduce the Risk

This stage is to determine what measures would reduce the risk factor of a particular hazard identified
above.
These measures would either lower the severity of the hazard, or reduce the likelihood of it occurring, or
both. These measures can range from using additional safety gear, using backup systems, standardising the
procedures, regulating conditions under which the activity can be undertaken etc.

Care must be taken NOT to create new dangers by implementing control measures.
